P7xxDM3-(G) Clevo P775DM3 model support

[giostark]

Maybe I'm missing something, but my output is this:

$ dmesg | grep clevo

[ 3.184798] clevo_xsm_wmi: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 3.188027] input: Clevo Airplane-Mode Hotkey as /devices/platform/clevo_xsm_wmi/input/input7 [ 3.188053] clevo_xsm_wmi: Polling thread started (PID: 238), polling at 5 Hz [ 3.189100] clevo_xsm_wmi clevo_xsm_wmi: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

So dont appear any "model found" but my laptop should be supported right?

In case is possible to make support also for this specific model?

Many thanks.

Finally... thanks to the community. Im using arch so having problems compiling from the source here provided i managed doing so: Installing the module and the utility provided on Aur. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clevo-xsm-wmi-dkms/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clevo-xsm-wmi-util/ Then I downloaded the source from here and uncompressed the tuxedoxxx.zip and modified as follow. I found that the description of my model in dmidecode have a "dash - " before the "parenthesis ( " and not after as stated in the clevo-xsm-wmi.c file. So as suggested by devstructor devstructor here : https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/41/pa71hp6-not-working I added the following lines between the model listed near the end of the file.

#!

{
        .ident = "Clevo P7xxDM3-(G)",
        .matches = {
            DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "P7xxDM3-(G)"),
        },
        .callback = clevo_xsm_dmi_matched,
        .driver_data = &kb_full_color_ops,
    },

After this i changed always in the same file clevo-xsm-wmi.c this as suggested by bolog here https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/20/sager-np8174-not-working:

#!

CLEVO_XSM_DEBUG("%0#4x  IN : %0#6x\n", method_id, arg);

status = wmi_evaluate_method(CLEVO_GET_GUID, 0x01,
    method_id, &in, &out);

changed to:

#!

 CLEVO_XSM_DEBUG("%0#4x  IN : %0#6x\n", method_id, arg);

status = wmi_evaluate_method(CLEVO_GET_GUID, 0x00,
    method_id, &in, &out);

After those small modifications I copied the modified module substituting the module provided in Aur: sudo cp clevo-xsm-wmi.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/clevo-xsm-wmi.ko

Now the back light work.
